Bite the bullet..

I have been meaning to start a blog for a few months now. Today is the day! Any tips and tricks on making this look better and any blog-etiquette would be appreciated.

For many that know me they will know that I am somewhat obsessed with cupcakes.. baking them, buying tiers for them and basically collecting anything with a cupcake on it. I have decided to challenge myself to a Julia & Julia-esque style challenge.



I am going to bake my way through all the cupcake recipes in the Women's Weekly cookies & cupcakes book. Now originally I was going to use the newer version of the book that I have but there is 60 odd recipes.





So instead I will be using this version:

I don't know how long I will be giving myself to complete them all. I also think I might make some variations as a few of them don't have any icing and I am a big fan of icing. But here is the complete list

  1. Chocolate and Coconut Sponge cakes
  2. Choc Top
  3. Chocolate Ginger Cakes with HoneyComb Cream
  4. Black Forest Cakes
  5. Lamington Angel Cakes
  6. Chocolate Date & Almond Meringues (although not a typical cupcake it's in the book so will have to attempt it)
  7. Coffee Caramel Cakes
  8. Caramel Mud Cakes
  9. White Chocolate Mud Cakes
  10. Coconut Cherry Hearts
  11. Apple Custard Teacakes
  12. Passionfruit Curd Cakes
  13. Very Berry Cakes
  14. Daisy Cakes
